[ Being Cool in someone's eyes is pretty big for Nico because some are just freaked out by him, others see him like family or don't think he's anything that special. Most his friends are demigods in their own rights and he just got the weird death powers. Thanks dad.

But Dave's an alright guy in Nico's books. Who else is willing to stick a skull inside of a pumpkin and call it decoration?

So when the guy suggests doing a quest, well Nico's up for that. Plus it's a good idea to get to know the people he's planning to take into the forest and summon ghosts with. The only person he hasn't met yet is John. ]

I've carved more pumpkins in the last couple of weeks than I have my whole life so that's fine. [ Okay, it was like five but when a kid can't remember most of his childhood it counts. ] And I now have a collection of bone scythes that would easily qualify me to become the next Death.

[ Let's not talk about the costumes... ] We can head to the well and you can watch me sacrifice something?

[ Had the skeletons been more of a threat, it would have been ranked higher but Nico's found that it's right there alongside the dangers of pumpkin carving. ] Try not to toss me in if you can't think of anything else. I'm attempting to cut down on being eaten by pits of darkness.

[ Is he serious or is that just a joke? Hard to tell without explaining how he ended up in Tartarus. Why would anyone have a slumber party in the well? ]

Scythes are made for harvesting plants. [ Thanks for that tidbit of info Demeter. ] But I'm pretty sure if you tried to harvest the plants with a scythe made from bone that someone might get angry with you. Maybe we're just supposed to use them to decorate. Wouldn't be the first time I've seen furniture or entire rooms made out of human remains.
